Line 32:
Peru is a constitutional monarchy with a hereditary monarch and a unicameral parliament and a multi-party system. Since the 1950's the country has maintained a democratic unitary government with a prime minister acting as chief executive with the monarch of Peru acting as head of state, having legislative veto power and appointing one minister of the 14 member executive council of ministers.
Peru is a fairly unitary nation with each administrative region having only powers over cultural, short term planning and municipal matters with the Peruvian constitution dictating the indivisible unity of the Peruvian nation. Each administrative region elects one representatives to serve a 4 year term in the Peruvian parliament.
=== Administrative divisions ===
Peru is divided into 54 communities based upon population and history and are renegotiated every 15 years. Additionally the municipal regions of Lima, Arequipa and Santa Cruz are granted a special municipal classification that allows for a slightly higher degree of autonomy from the federal government while the city of Cusco operates under a special capitol district classification.{{Nations of the World}}
